Happy Halloween!

Which one is not like the other? My first Halloween and mom is making me dress up in a silly pumpkin costume. I may not be going trick-or-treating, but we're in the spirit none-the-less. Next year I may be big enough to hit the houses. Mom and Dad also took me to a haunted corn maze. We went with some good friends, Shawn, Daniele, Jackie, Louis, Bart, Dee, Jane, & Tony. I slept through the entire thing, but kicked Dad when ever he jumped. It was fun, but it may be too much for me next year... We'll see. Please view our photo albums as they contain many more lovely photos.

Just Saying Hello

I want to show everyone just how big I am. I weigh in at 10 lbs 14 ozs as of my 7 week birthday. The nurse says I am 3 lbs heavier than I need to be, but there's nothing wrong with that. According to Daddy's measuring skills, I am close to 24 inches long... I'm a growing boy! On November 6th I have to go visit the doctor for my 2 month checkup, which includes some shots. I'll let you know in 2 weeks how it goes since it's the 1st set in a long line of shots for me. Java and I get to hang out every day, and boy does she like to give me kisses. Mommy tried me in my Bumbo chair, but I still need to work on holding myself upright. It'll come sooner or later (hopefully sooner)! And here I am getting some tummy time. Soon I'll be able to roll over, so Mommy & Daddy watch out!

I'm 6 Weeks Old

It's been 6 weeks since I've entered this world and loving every minute of it (with exception to the growth spurts)! I have been fussy and cranky this last week as I am a growing boy, feeding all the time and keeping mommy awake at night. I had my 1st Thanksgiving at my Great Nanny's place a couple of weeks ago with lots of family around. I also took my first road trip with mommy and daddy to Windsor, NS to watch the 9th Annual Pumpkin Regatta. We also went to Dill's Pumpkin Farm, which is the birth place of hockey. It started off as a nice day, but the rain could not hold off and everyone got wet. Until next time!

Grandma & Grandad McRae

I apologize for the Delay since our last post but I guess that's parent hood. Nathan was lucky enough to get a visit from his grandparents on the McRae side after my parents left 2 weeks ago. They were here for about 9 days and Yvette's mom was a huge help around the house since I was back at work; Thank you Doris. They arrived with suitcases full of gifts from all of Yvette's relatives who we can't thank enough. As those of you with kids know we were unfortunately horrible hosts as we were pretty tired . Nathan's last checkup was great, unlike daddy he's average weight and above average height, yay.

Yesterday Yvette, Nathan and I along with our friends Jen, Craig and their daughter Rebecca went for a long hike on the Pennant Point Trail at Crystal Cresent Beach. Unfortunately there are no pics as I didn't check the camera batteries before we left. It's a great trail and, as we found out there is a nudist section complete with a couple of naked old guys if any of you are into that sorta thing. If you're looking to do any hiking in NS check out this great website http://www.trails.gov.ns.ca/.

Happy turkey & fat pants weekend
